In 2016 we’ve been talking a lot about what you can do within 5 miles on your eBike. Sans car, your errands and lunch breaks become fun mini adventures, we know — we tried it on our lunch break! Talk is cheap, so without further ado, #5Miles in DTLA:

First stop, Verve Coffee to soak up some sun and of course, our favorite roast in town. I sort of feel like my eBike and I are in the jungle against this plant wall.

Don’t mind me, I’m just zipping through traffic with the biggest grin on my face. I’m quite a head turner on my Sondors eBike, and I’m not making any noise — I’m an anomaly to onlookers because I’m soaring along motionless, and in complete silence. Turns out a silent motor is quite jarring for a world accustomed to the combustion engine.

Explaining the mechanics to a future backer at a stop light.

By the time I arrive at my next stop, Grand Central Market, I’ve got my paparazzi pose down. “Please, I’m just a normal girl with a Sondors eBike, I enjoy a greasy burger & fries just like everyone else.”

Just a girl and her eBike, sharing some McConnell’s Ice Cream..

As I wait for the light to turn green, the man in the van next to me stares enviously. Not to worry sir, you too, could one day own a Sondors eBike.

Last stop, Pershing Square! I am always amazed by how much more I’m able to see when I take my eBike for a spin in the city.

My Pershing Square fun is unceremoniously cut short when a security guard yells at me for riding around the fountain. Apparently vehicles aren’t allowed in the square, point taken.

Hey, is that guy in the background pedaling for real?! I wonder how long it will be until he’s the minority..

A coffee break, lunch, dessert, and some DTLA sight-seeing, all in one lunch break. That’s my #5miles — now, back to work.
